Nottingham Forest
Saturday’s football game at Old Trafford pits together Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2023/2024 season. The Red Devils are eyeing a top-four finish and, no doubt, they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Experienced midfielder Christian Eriksen is pushing for a start, while all Malacia, Amad, and Mainoo remain on the sidelines with injuries as well as summer recruit Rasmus Hojlund.
The Reds, on the other hand, are eager to secure yet another top-flight survival, but given their difficulties on the road, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Man Utd’s party at “the Theatre of Dreams”. As for the visiting team, all Hennessey, Felipe, and Richards are out of contention with injuries, while towering striker Chris Wood should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a late winner against Sheffield United.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.

Highlighted Team (Nottingham Forest):
Nottingham Forest, the club that are often referred to as Forest, were formed in 1865. They have been playing their home games at the City Ground since 1898 and the capacity of the stadium is 30,445. Nottingham Forest are regarded as one of the greatest English clubs as they won the European Cup on two occasions. In 1979 Forest outplayed Malmo (1-0) at the Olympiastadion in Munich in the final of the elite competition, with the team beating Hamburg in 1980 in the title game at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (1-0).
Nottingham Forest won the national championship in the 1977/1978 season, with the team finishing the campaign seven points clear of second-placed Liverpool. To make things even better for the fans, the City Ground outfit clinched the FA Cup trophies in 1898 and 1959. Derby County are regarded as Forest’s bitterest rivals and the two local rivals contest in the East Midlands derby. In their first ever meeting in the local derby Forest recorded a 3-2 win over Derby County.
